Upendo wa Mama Womens Group
Upendo Wa Mama
Women’s Group
Upendo wa Mama—or ‘Mothers’ Love’, in Swahili—is the name given to this expansion in our community based organization.
With a membership of women who have albinism or children with albinism, the group empowers vulnerable women to support themselves and their families through income-generating training in jewelry- making, soap-making, beeswax products, sewing and baking.
Beyond this practical and entrepreneurial development, the group affords a space of solidarity and emotional support for women whose children have been attacked or rejected; it is a platform for individuals to assert their strength, and survival, flourishing as leaders in the fight to find a safer tomorrow for people with albinism in Tanzania.
